Visual Studio 2012 installation was failing, seemed to take a long time on “Creating a system restore point.” Eventually shows an error screen saying “Setup Engine: Access is Denied.” Log file in TEMP directory says:
Error 0x80070005: Failed to write run key value.
Error 0x80070005: Failed to update resume mode.
Error 0x80070005: Failed to begin registration session.
Error 0x80070005: Failed to begin registration session in per-machine process.
Error 0x80070005: Failed to register bundle.
...
Exit code: 0x643, restarting: No
Lots of Googling only suggested running the setup as Administrator but that wasn’t helping. Before it fails, I guess it writes an entry in the Uninstall key and also the HKCR\Installer\Depedencies key. Tried clearing those out and also deleting any files in C:\ProgramData\Package Cache and C:\Temp but that didn’t help. Checked permissions on the Run and RunOnce keys, looked normal.
Final solution: Found out user had installed some anti-malware software (IObit Malware Fighter) that had a service running that was protecting the Run keys. Seems like a reasonable way to protect the system but it was getting in the way of the install! Others on the web suggested some anti-virus software like McAfee got in the way too. Check for any anti-malware or anti-virus services and temporarily stop them for the install!

I’m not exactly sure what the situation is that causes it but if your Microsoft Office Outlook 2010 crashes on startup and you check the event log and see this error:
Faulting application name: OUTLOOK.EXE, version: 14.0.4760.1000, time stamp: 0x4ba8fefd
Faulting module name: olmapi32.dll, version: 14.0.4760.1000, time stamp: 0x4ba8fe34
Exception code: 0xc00000fd
Fault offset: 0x0003807a
Faulting process id: 0x608
Faulting application start time: 0x01cdd273186838df
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\OUTLOOK.EXE
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\olmapi32.dll
then I’ve got the fix for you! You may have tried to recreate the user profile or the user’s Outlook profile and thought that it worked…but it didn’t because it only ran on the first try and crashed every time after that. You may have tried to run Outlook in safe mode and it worked so you thought it was an add-in so you disabled all of the add-ins…but it didn’t work because it still crashes in non-safe mode. You may have tried to Google the issue and saw that people were suggesting running Outlook with the /resetnav option to reset the navigation panes…but that didn’t work either. Well, the only thing that is going to work is what I am about to reveal… (more…)

Couldn’t find this info consolidated anywhere and none of the Nissan 240SX KA24DE Quest Alternator upgrade articles talk about belt sizes so here it is! I’ve included belt sizes (tested by yours truly!) for use of the Quest alternator with the stock crank pulley as well as the Unorthodox underdrive crank pulley. I’ve tried in both cases to use the old alternator belts but struggled with it for hours before getting the next size up. It’s still a VERY tight fit but it will go on! All belt sizes listed use Gates part numbers:
Stock crank pulley:
Air conditioning K040355
Stock alternator K040305
Quest alternator K040310
Power steering K030395
Unorthodox underdrive crank pulley:
Air conditioning K040340
Stock alternator K040285
Quest alternator K040292
Power steering K030385

FYI, here are my voltage readings with the Unorthodox underdrive crank pulley at idle with low beam headlights off and on:
Stock alternator:
Low beam off 13.4V
Low beam on 12.15V
Q45 alternator:
Low beam off 14.4V
Low beam on 14.2V

When trying to pslist a remote machine, you get this error:
PsList 1.26 - Process Information Lister
Copyright (C) 1999-2004 Mark Russinovich
Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com
Process performance object not found on COMPUTERNAME
Run Exctrlst from the Windows Resource Kit to repair the performance counters.
For once, the error message is right! Run exctrlst, and then…umm…now what? One more line of info and you wouldn’t have had to search for the solution. Select PerfOS from the list and make sure the Performance Counters Enabled box is checked. Then select PerfProc and make sure it has the checkbox checked too. Close the window and your problem is solved!
Update: If you do not have the Exctrlst tool, you can also resolve the problem by editing the registry manually. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\PerfOS\Performance and make sure the Disable Performance Counters value is set to REG_DWORD 0. Similarly, check the value under the PerfProc key. A reboot may be required for the change to take effect.
Adding commonly mistyped phrase: Processor performance object not found

It’s frustrating when things don’t work as they should. While setting up a Samba server on SuSE 11, I had the pleasure of troubleshooting why permissions weren’t being inherited by children of a folder. I had what seemed like all of the appropriate settings in my smb.conf file. I looked over it a million times. inherit acls, inherit permissions, blah blah blah. It still wasn’t working and I had no idea why. New files COPIED the parent permissions but they weren’t INHERITED. In the Advanced Permissions dialog, the files all said “Inherited From: None” so I knew inheritance wasn’t working. After lots and lots of Googling, I saw someone suggest setting the vfs objects property. After I did that, everything worked! So here are some tips on getting permission inheritance working:
In your /etc/fstab, make sure you have the acl and user_xattrib mount options set for the partition that contains the files you are serving:
/dev/sda2 /local reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2
In your /etc/samba/smb.conf, make sure you have all the inherit options set to yes and the vfs objects option set:
inherit acls = yes
inherit owner = yes
inherit permissions = yes
vfs objects = acl_xattr
map acl inherit = yes
Keywords: samba 3.4.x suse sles 11 permissions inherit inheritance acls smb.conf smb
